“We really loved this property.”

It is clean, comfortable, well equipped and the view is beautiful (not to mention it's on the Mach Loop so we got to see so many fighter jets!) It is in a fantastic location, well placed to explore mid and north Wales. Just a heads up to anyone considering booking, there are a lot of steps, including 44 big steps up to the property itself and is not suitable for people with mobility issues. We would definitely stay again. Big thanks to Pete for a wonderful holiday.

“Very lovely property in a beautiful area.”

It also has convenient parking! The owner was very accommodating and we were able to communicate with him very quickly and easily. We are definitely thinking of going back again another time for a longer period as it is in a beautiful area which we would like to explore more. The house was in itself very comfortable and clean too.

- Rachel, August 2026

Thanks Rachel.. that's a kind review... made my day.. I look forward to a return visit from you. Pete Property Owner
Dani April 2026

“Stayed at this property for 4 nights during our Easter hols, 2 adults and 2 teenagers.”

Suited us really well, spacious rooms. Big cosy kitchen to cook and dining table to eat at. Tall house with character. Liked the TVs in the bedrooms, bathroom and shower lovely. Beautiful location, up on a hill, one moment peaceful the next jets overhead. Loved them! We chose it as close to Dyfi Bike Park.

“I saw the pictures on Sykes etc when I booked it.”

But it wasn’t until we were there and saw it in person that I realised how beautiful this place, your home, and those hills are. I live in Norfolk! The flattest part of our land. To wake up to those to those views!!! Will never forget it, thank you. Corris am byth!!!! Had a lovely stay in 2 Isygraig. The property is beautifully situated and immaculately clean. Loved every minute of our stay. Highly recommend.

“We really enjoyed staying here.”

The views are so beautiful when looking out of the windows. We stayed in the upstairs flat of the house. Lots of space too. Peter was so friendly and welcoming. The surrounding area and small village is so calm and peaceful. We would happily come and stay again. Thanks again Peter.

“Here are the positives: We had a good week in Corris the location etc was really good.”

The kitchen is well stocked with all the things you need for a family meal. Good sized freezers and fridges. Now the more challenging bits; The cottage itself was very dusty and full of cobwebs. From day one I was having to take an antihistamine which suggests either lots of dust or a cat which has been in the house (I am allergic to both) Our parents were in the flat below. My mother who is also allergic to the same things had the same experience when in the house we rented. I also had a poor experience with the owner at the end. Firstly to acknowledge that yes I had accidentally left with a key in my handbag. I realised and came back over to the cottage by 11.30 that morning. In doing that realised in the rush to leave a bag and some toys had been left ready to go in the car. I was very apologetic and felt like a bit of a idiot having to return with key etc. However the owner then started to list problems. For instance the chair legs were wobbling and immediately attributed this to my kids swinging on the chairs in quite an accusatory way. This had not happened in was in fact when I sat on the chair on day one it was clearly broken and on the verge or braking so put it to one side and to be honest forgot about it as there were so many chairs in the property. We did smash a glass while on holiday doing the washing up. I was going to offer to pay him for this but then he came straight out with it. There was a chipped glass in the cottage the whole week which was like that when we arrived but he didn’t acknowledge that. All in all we had a lovely week in Corris and spent lots of time with my family. But this cottage needs a good clean and I think the owner needs to understand people and not just jump to conclusions about what his customers are doing. We’ve rented dozens of cottages with Sykes and never had this experience before. But will think twice before booking again.

- Nicola, April 2025

Let's be honest here Nicola... on the Monday of leaving you must have all got up at 9.30 am and left at 10.00am... On my arrival the apartment looked like it had been vacated very quickly with no care about giving the place a 'tidy up'... It took me twice a long as normal to return the property to a respectable place. I have never seen so much waste jammed into a swing bin in the kitchen ever... it took both hands and feet to extract it. The broken glass was mentioned because it had been placed without a care about someone cuttings themselves on it... I also found a glass tumbler jammed down the side of a reclining chair... You left all the dining chairs up ended on the table... why!!? The dusty condition must really be attributed to your own dog's visit. I'm sorry I called you to say you had forgotten to leave the key to the property... and had left a large collection of your belongings.. It won't happen again. Believe me. Pete Property Owner
Cameron July 2024

“We loved our stay.”

Village was great. Locals were friendly. Close enough to coast for days on the beach. Machynlleth is a good place to get supplies, plus the fish and chip shop is excellent.

- Cameron, July 2024

Thanks so much for your top marks for 2 Isygraig.. It's a great base for so many things.. I hope you will visit us again. Regards Pete Property Owner

“I loved staying at the cottage!”

It is a a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. The view from the windows is amazing! All the facilities we needed was there. Highly recommend this place. And the owner, Peter, is such a wonderful person. I wish him all the best. :)

- Faojia, June 2024

Thank you for giving 2 Isygraig top marks in your review... It means a lot to me. It was a pleasure to meet you both and hope that one day you will visit Corris again. Regards Pete Property Owner
Anand March 2024

“The property is located in a beautiful area overlooking the valley.”

We spent four nights here (family of 4 with 2 young children) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Reading prior reviews, we were worried about parking, but the owner had recently renovated the parking place, and so you could now comfortably park two SUV's. Pete is great to deal with as a host and is very responsive. The house was very spacious, has a big kitchen with all amenities and have spacious bedrooms. The house also had a lot of interesting books. The views from the living room and the bedroom were mind blowing. There are several walks from the house and lots of other attractions nearby. I would gladly recommend this to anyone and would visit again.

- Anand, March 2024

A lovely review of our property in Corris.. Thanks so much.. Really Appreciated! Due to the creation of the car parking area I was unable to offer holiday lettings for some time last year.. But we are back and online again now and provide a solution to the challenge of parking in our beautiful village of Corris Isygraig offers a peaceful elevated South facing location overlooking Corris and the valley. I will do my best to make your future holiday as good as the last one.. .. Thanks again. Pete Property Owner
Alison August 2023

“Lovely spacious cottage with fantastic views in a friendly village.”

There are lots of steps and the roads are tight but this wasn't a problem for us, meant we could enjoy the view!

- Alison, August 2023
Diana October 2022

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Is y Graig and found it very comfortable.”

We made good use of the well equipped spacious kitchen. There certainly are alot of steps at this property but this seems only in keeping for this part of Wales. The views across the valley are beautiful and we enjoyed the walk from the doorstep passing the very curious Little Italy.

- Diana, October 2022
Nicola April 2022

“Great stay and location was perfect for what we wanted!”

[being close to the Mach Loop] Will definitely be back! Only down was having to clean a bit on arrival. Floors were covered in bits. Vacuum didn’t work so had to do it all by hand with dustpan and brush. Kitchen also needed a bit of a wipe down! The property had everything we needed and was very comfy. Parking is a bit of an issue but we managed with the help of the very friendly neighbours. Felt like home by the time we left, didn’t want to leave! Can’t wait to come back!!

- Nicola, April 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. The vacuum has now been fixed. I am sorry for any inconvenience this caused you. I am always available for guests anytime if assistance required. Look forward to you staying again soon. Kind regards Property Owner
Laura October 2021

“Wonderful stay again at Isycraig, the views are stunning over the valley and there’s a lot to do in the area: centre for alternative technology, lots of great walks and the local railway, shop and pub are lovely too.”

We always really enjoy ourselves, it’s a tonic.

- Laura, October 2021
Robert September 2021

“The listing was accurate over the 44 steps.”

Not a problem if reasonably fit. Car parking a problem unless you own a fairly narrow vehicle. SUV's beware. Otherwise property listing was accurate and it was a very pleasant place to stay. Good countryside and plenty of good walking in near vicinity.

- Robert, September 2021

Jodie February 2020

“Great holiday had by all, We went in February when there were loads of floods and the weather was really wet and windy.”

This was a super place to relax And stay warm... Also had a great little pottery studio down the road (by car) The owner was always at the end of the phone when needed. And a lovely little shop just down the road. (Pub too but we didn’t visit so can’t comment) My only slight criticism is the parking is tight for big cars but wouldn’t put us off retuning.

- Jodie, February 2020
Andy September 2019

“What an absolutely superb place to stay.”

Pete(the owner) was fantastic and was always at the end of the phone if we had any questions. The local area is so picturesque and the locals are really friendly. The pub just down the road is a lovely place to go and relax with a nice drink and something to eat. The cottage is fantastic with everything you could need to make your stay enjoyable. The view from the lounge window is amazing and you could just sit there, listen to the birds and just while the hours away. Which we did a few times! It is a perfect location if you are keen on aviation, as it is a stones throw away from some great locations to capture pictures of fast jets!(They sometimes fly over the cottage!) We will definitely be returning as there is so much more we want to see and do around Corris and the surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend a stay here whether you are a keen walker, aviation fan or just fancy a chill in an amazing location. Thanks again Pete from an amazing stay.

Carol September 2018

“Generally the property was superb.”

The shower was adequate but not brilliant due to being fed from the hot and cold water taps in the bath. It was difficult to control the temperature of the water. The bathroom was a long way from the bedrooms with a number of flights of stairs having to be negotiated in the night. Corris was a lovely little village and people were very friendly. Craft centre, Corris railway, Slaters Arms, shop and Church well worth visiting.

- Carol, September 2018
Laura September 2018

“A manual to explain how to use various things eg boiler and recycling waste would have been helpful.”

It wasn’t clear where to dry clothes. Overall, we had a lovely stay, it was a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay with tremendous views, lovely bit outside in the garden to sit and take it all in

- Laura, September 2018
Chris August 2018

“Very comfortable and spacious.”

Bathroom, bedrooms and lounge all well furnished and had everything one would need. Kitchen spacious but could do with re-equipping in certain areas - not enough pans, some of which were burnt out and unusable. Poor knives.

- Chris, August 2018
Cherry July 2018

“Location is perfect.”

Very quite and relaxing.
